35 beautiful cities you must see in your lifetime

From the apartment blocks that will feel strangely familiar thanks to the role in countless films and sitcoms, to the soaring peaks of the Empire State Building and the One World Observatory, New York is a city to be reckoned with. The Met Museum has collections that remind one of the wealth of early 20th century businessmen and investors, who bought up the works of French Impressionists by the lorry load. Forget not the beauty to be found in its everyday streets and interactions, too: the Humans of New York photo series is a reminder that you needn't head to the Rockefeller ice rink to find freeze frames that stick in the mind.
